too many dr visits

This past week the girls had too many Dr visits for my liking. Jeannie had her hip ultrasound....which we will have to do a follow up with the orthopedic....uuugh. I feel so bad for her. She was so uncomfortable with it. Liesl did better than I expected on her Dr appointment. She behaved very well for the doctor despite her earlier protests about going. Only bad thing is that she has to do a follow up eye appointment on Monday. Good thing is I will be done until August.... not long enough. I just need to find a dentist for her. surprisingly she is excited about the dentist.Jeannie has been sleeping very well through the nights. She sleeps from about 9 until 7 in the morning strait through in her bassinet and then falls back asleep after eating for 4-5 hours or more. Liesl never slept so sound until 3! hope she keeps this up. Jim and I feel confident in her sleeping habits so much that I actually have left the house several times to run errands. She is doing great with holding her head up. she has been practicing her tummy time every day and thinking she is going to be rolling in a couple weeks. she loves her mobiles in her room. I have one in the crib and one on the changing table. she will lay in there and talk to it for 20 minutes sometimes. Jeannie seems to be cutting a few teeth. poor thing is doing that a little early and she is very fussy....at least for her. She is such a talkative little baby. I love listening to all of the wonderful. sounds she makes. She really likes it when I imitate. her. Liesl has been enjoying her pool time this week. we went to Lifetime a few times and to Barb Gater's to swim with her friends yesterday. She has really been practicing her skills in the water and she is almost there with treading water. She just needs a little more confidence. she was doing a good job in Barb's pool but Kayla was a little skittish so Liesl also played that game. even after all of the diving under she did at Lifetime. she was diving down to retrieve things for other little girls and making friends there. I was impressed. This week Gavin and Liesl went to the library together. Liesl loved it and brought book after book to the table for Heather and I to read to her. She also loved all the puzzles they had there too. it is too bad I don't have a Rochester library card anymore because I like them there so much better than Shelby. Liesl has been into the baby dolls this week. She now has a Tiana and a Merida baby doll along with the Aurora and Dora and Ranpunzel and they all talk together in elaborate games with her. I finally got the house organized this week and I am looking forward to working on the basement soon too. maybe I will get some stuff together for a garage sale this summer. I am so happy to have all Liesl and Jeannie's stuff organized and off the floor and so is Liesl. She even put away her toys after playing the other day because she likes finding her toys and not having to play with a jumbled up mess. It is to her advantage. She did a lot of helping in getting it all organized. Liesl is very excited to see fireworks off the boat. she has been talking about it for weeks. hope it is everything she dreamed of.Daddy took her to see Brave this past week and again the next day with Oma and Grandad and Jeannie and I. She loves that movie. She has been imitating a Scottish accent and saying the lines from the movie. Especially "feast your eyes" pretty funny. I'd like to see it again myself. it was quite cute.
